I'm bad

See, there is a sock designer whose patterns I really like. They're available at The Loopy Ewe, and since you get free shipping at the Loopy Ewe when you buy enough of course I couldn't just get those patterns, I need to get some yarn too.

Then I realized that I don't have the needles I need to make the socks - I don't have any 0s or 1s, and I prefer circs since Magic Loop rocks my world. And, of course, the cords on the circs at Knit Picks are wonderful for Magic Loop, so I had to order from there (and again there's free shipping when you buy enough) and they added cool wooden circs recently so of course I had to get some of them, too.

*sigh*

Then Sheri had to add more of Wendy's patters to the Ewe. And there's one pattern that is just *perfect* for a surprise I want to make a friend. Perfect. Really. And, again, I had to get enough to make free shipping....

I'm really glad I have a job again.

Mail yarny goodness!

I got my order from The Loopy Ewe today - 2 skeins of cashwool laceweight that's just gorgeous, and 5 skeins of Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sport to make a clapotis for my mom for Christmas - I had to, the colorway name is her name :-) I still need to figure out what modifications I need to make since I'm using sport weight instead of worsted. I might just start on it and see what I think of the results using the specified needle size.

And after not getting what I ordered from Knit2purl2, I have to find some special yarn for the friend elsewhere - it's really hard to find the specific colorway in stock. I bet, though, if I check the yarn store in Lafayette they might have it, since technically it's in Purdue's colors....
